About two thirds of Austria’s total area comprising 84000 km2
is covered by parts of the Central Eastern Alps, and Northern and
Southern Limestone Alps. This explains why one will find a lot of
wonderful different landscapes, caves and mountain lakes that attract
divers looking for places apart from the mainstream destinations.
Mountaineering, hiking and biking are favourite leisure activities in our country.
Austria’s population is estimated at 8.3 million people, about one fifth of them living in the capital Vienna.
The country is divided in 9 federal states with some autonomous
legislative authority apart from the federal government. Graz is
Austria’s second largest city and the capital of Styria, one of the
federal states.
The alpine climate is predominant but summer and early autumn days can
be very warm, inviting to sit outsides and to enjoy a glass of famous
Styrian wine in an agreeable and peaceful atmosphere.
